It is the dream of many young aspiring musicians to be part of a real, performing Rock Band. And although the thought of being a 'rock star" is appealing and attractive, the truth of the matter is, it is just plain fun to play. sing, and rock to music that they hear on the radio and that all their friends have on their I-pods. Of course, it takes some work to get to that point.
The Laurel School of Music has developed a fun and very effective summer rock program that takes guitar players, singers, drummers, and even keyboardist to the "next level" (beyond playing the air guitar and singing along to the radio). Our program consists of the following:
- 8 one hour group sessions
- An end of summer Rock Concert
- Music specifically written for the level of musician
- Individual teachers for guitars, vocalists, and drummers.
- An absolutely fun and inspiring learning experience
The groups that are formed vary in the make-up of the players due to different skill levels and times that each individual musician has available. Consideration is taken into account that students will often have vacation absences. Because a performing group must have as many members present as possible for each class, if a member cannot attend a class for various reasons, instructors will step in and play the missing students part. This allows a continuity of rehearsal.
Also, if a group of students is missing a key part (for example if a particular group does not have a bass player, instructors will play and perform the bass guitar part) a group can still be formed and no students will be denied participation because they could not fit the time schedule or particular needs of any given group.
The details of the program are as follows:
- COST - $160.00 for the 8 session course and Concert.
- Times for the session will be depedent on the members of a particular group. Each applicant will be grouped by skill level and lesson time availability.
- An application fee of $25 is required to hold a spot for this program. The registration fee will be refunded only if no group or time slot is available for the student.
- Sessions are held at the Laurel School of Music.
- Every attempt will be made to fit a session time schedule to the individual needs of the group. However, once a schedule is set, there will be no refunds or credits for missed sessions. A schedule will be given to members and a brief time period will be given to accept the schedule or request placement in another group.
